Any hearing held on an application is open to the public. The record of such hearing is a public record, unless the commission determines that a closed hearing is necessary because: (1) The alleged offender has not been brought to trial and a public hearing would adversely affect the alleged offender's apprehension or trial; (2) The victim or alleged offender is a minor; (3) A public hearing would cause trauma for the victim; or (4) A public hearing would frustrate rather than further the interests of justice.
